Fungal diseases can cause significant yield losses. Fungicides
used in organic farming generally have a contact mode of action. Such contact fungicides need to be applied shortly before an infection event in order to have the highest efficacy.
Solution
Decision support systems (DSS) are tools to allow optimal timing of fungicide application. DSS have been developed for various crop-pathogen combinations, e.g., apple scab, grapevine downy mildew, among others.
Description
Based on pathogen biology and weather data, DSS support decision-making by the farmers and allow to determine the optimal timing of spray interventions, leading to better efficacy of the products.
